Chapter 1104
Those small fries are still on it! But why?!
Looking at Jack's serious expression, Grayson had no choice but to accept the truth. His hands formed tight fists on
his table while the wrinkles on his countenance rendered him appear older. His eyes spoke of helplessness. "What
went wrong?"
I just don't get it. We apologized! Why are they still making a fuss over it?
Jack lowered his head as he saw through Grayson's mind and a flicker of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Things have escalated to this point and President Lore hasn't realized his mistake yet. Geez. It seems like I gotta
consider Joshua's advice to resign from my position and look for a new job. If this continues, the company will be
led to its downfall by its very own incapable leader.
In spite of that, Jack kept it to himself and wore a worried expression. "President Lore, what should we do now?"
Grayson tightened his fists without uttering a word, for he was clueless as well. Previously, he returned to the old
manor to discuss with Harry on how to retain the relationship between their family and Toby.
After that, he rushed back to the company to appease the shareholders since he had to give them an explanation
regarding the stock market crash.
Who would have known that such things would happen right after he promised them that the stock price would
rebound? Jack mentioned how the stock price dwindled profusely instead of going up after the apology statement
was released.
How could he accept the truth? It was completely different from what he had thought of.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that statement, he assumed that Sonia and the unreasonable netizens would stop the backlash against his
family and company, as well as forgiving Lynette.
Sonia should've forgiven us instantly, that was what he thought at first. Considering Harry and Toby's relationship,
she should've done that.
Even if Toby was angry at the Lore Family, he would never turn his back against them. Instead, he would stay on
good terms with them.
Sonia should've thought of that and get over this issue. She should've forgiven Lynette after our apology, but that
woman did not do that! She even said that it's an empty apology without sincerity!
Indeed, they were not sincere with their apology; they were not willing to apologize to that kind of woman either.
It was because the Lore Family did not perceive Sonia as the perfect match for Toby, but Lynette was.
If they offered their genuine apology, would it not imply how much they acknowledged Sonia as the perfect partner
for Toby?
If that happened, what would people say when Lynette and Toby were together?
Grayson could never allow that to happen, hence the apology statement released on purpose. Although they were
mere empty words, they apologized nevertheless.
Shouldn't Sonia Reed accept it as it is? We're going to reconcile with Toby anyway. When that time comes, isn't she
worried that we might speak bad of her in front of Toby and make him hate her? Sonia, oh, Sonia. What a stupid
little girl. Why can't you think of this?
The self-conceited Grayson displayed contempt toward Sonia on his visage, yet he did not take Toby's love for her
into account, which weighed much heavier than Toby's perception of Lore Family. In actuality, Toby would not
reconcile with them, let alone hate Sonia just because they drive a wedge between them.
All and still, he overestimated the Lore Family's position in Toby's eyes compared to Sonia. Grayson was the exact
epitome of being doused by his own fantasy and blinded from the truth. As for the netizens, he was really
displeased with them.
To him, they were nothing but immature nobodies. In other words, how dare those small fries talk to someone of
high status like Grayson?
Isn't it normal to not mention them in the statement? Why would someone successful like me keep bringing up
some nobodies? What is there that they can't accept? We mentioned Sonia and Toby, but they should take it as an
apology directed at them too! How dare they request me to apologize again! In their dreams! Who do they think
they are? Morons. How dare they force us to do anything!
The more he thought about it, the quicker his breathing became. However, he soon recollected himself and snorted
coldly.
Just let those idiots be, Grayson. Let's see how far they can go. Think we're going to fall just like that? Impossible!
Anxious, he looked at Jack. "Just let them be and inform the staff to stabilize the stock price."
Hearing that, Jack heaved a silent sigh while exclaiming how stupid his boss was. He never expected Grayson to be
this incapable in saving the company. It was indeed the Lore Family and the employee's bad luck for having such a
leader.
Still, the boss remained the boss. He suppressed his thoughts while fixing his glasses before asking, "President Lore,
we can stabilize the stock price, but that won't solve the issue. As long as the netizens don't stop, the stock price will
decline no matter how many times we do it. It'll be troublesome if it hits rock-bottom."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne would realize that it was a useless plan if they had the brain to think, but Grayson was not one of them. Instead
of sensing something amiss with his plan, he was displeased with Jack's doubts. "What's troublesome? I doubt the
netizens will lead us to bankruptcy. Enough, just do your job and stop running your mouth."
From that impatient tone, Jack could tell how Grayson was oblivious of the gravity of the issue. As such, a wave of
helplessness washed over him.
Nevermind. I'll think of what to write in my resignation letter after tonight. I should leave this hellish company and
superior before things get any worse.
He forsake the idea to persuade Grayson because it was redundant to do that to someone who was foolishly
stubborn; he would rather not waste his precious time. After all, it was not his company that was going bankrupt.
As an afterthought, he nodded and left. "Okay, President Lore. I shall do that right away."
Grayson's phone rang the moment Jack left. It was a call from the shareholder, who insisted he head to the
conference room, rendering him in distress.
Just a moment ago, he promised to rebound the stock price, but things did not turn out as he wished and the stock
price declined further. Thus, the displeased shareholders were eager to listen to his explanations.
Grayson placed back the telephone and sighed in frustration. In the end, he stepped out of the office and strode to
the conference room, admitting his fate.
Despite being the president of Lore Communications, the shareholders actually possess most of the authority. That
was why he could never turn a deaf ear to their requests.
In the meantime, Sonia and Toby arrived at Bayside Residence.
Yet, they did not enter the residence immediately as they went to a nearby posh grocery store hand-in-hand.
